Anyone Remember that Mark of Kri Commercial?
SenorCalavera | 8:24 PM on 09.26.2007 6 comments


Cause I Do. It takes place in a women's defense class, where the ladies in the class are kicking the shit out of a guy in a padded suit until they floor him. The camera pans out as the man stands back up, and at that moment, he stands with his back to the camera when suddenly a playstation X, O, and triangle. For those of you not familiar with the game, the revolutionary thing about it was supposedly, you were able to take on multiple enemies in hand to hand combat by mashing their corresponding button. This is the moment when it goes to game fotage of the game's protagonist kicking ass, and then after that, it returns to the defense class, where the women are all lying beaten on the floor while the padded man remains standing, triumphant.

Now, I personally did not get around to playing this game, but I ask if anyone remembers it cause I saw it, thought it was funny, but it was too early to be featured on the internetz and I can't find it anywhere now. Also, I ran into a couple of stories where people analyze this comercial as a classic example of how brutality against women is featured in advertising today. I throught that might be an interesting topic of discusion, given this is a video game commercial with some heat on it. Thanks in advance if anyone is able to point out where I can get a hold of this video.

Hey, it's beer bear! I hadn't heard of this commercial, but I'm really glad you told me about it. It will fit nicely into my "misogyny in gaming culture" article that I'm sure will be the end of my short-lived career.

I bought Mark of Kri about a month ago, because I kept hearing great things about it. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but now I have to. Good to see you, .harr!

Brutality of women? Weren't they planning on beating mr.padded-armour-man's ass? Educational purposes or not, they were gonna whip him good! So, he showed them what happened when the enemy attacked back using the correct combinations of buttons.

Win!

Do people ever remember that lousy game? lol

God, that game was awful and boring. I remember hearing that it looked like a Disney movie, but was full of blood and gore. No only was it tame as hell, but the controls just sucked and the game was boring as fuck. I'm no graphic whore either, but it looked like shit too.
